Not a mk 7.5 but I found they were fairly crap compared to Michelins
Mk7.5 GTI - Performance Pack, DSG, Sunroof, Dynaudio, Pro Nav, Vienna Leather, Climate Windscreen & last of the 3 doors....Many Sets of Alloys...

Prev - Mk7.5 White Silver, Vienna Leather, Sunroof, Helix Sub, Many Wheels

I'm very happy with my change to PS4S a couple of weeks ago. Really good in the wet, not a hint of any spin unlike the Pirellis which would even in warm weather with minimally damp conditions.

Was - 2015 Tornado Red 3dr GTI PP, manual, Santiagos, Audi short shifter.

Looks like the Goodyear's have gone from Costco anyway now ...
Still got a good few weeks at least in the current tyres so the search goes on!
Cheers for the info

offer is on until 9th October at Costco. You're better off going to your local and speaking to them as not all tyres show on the website or app. I was quoted £287 for four Asy 6s on my TCR (18")

Great deal. I'd have no hesitation buying at that price if I needed tyres.

Doing some of my own research ready to purchase new tyres to replace the assy 2s that are still on my mk6. Interested in peoples' views who have fitted assy 6 as it was designed to also cope with EVs as well as ICEs. Wondered if the side wall was stiffer to cope with the extra weight of EVs and effect of ride on rough roads?

Also thought this was an interesting review of 3 Michelin tyres - primacy 4+ vs pilot sport 5 vs pilot 4s in spite of not being ideal test conditions.

Mk6 GTI Carbon Grey, 2010 Bluetooth and voice fitted, a few VCDS mods still a comfortable family car. Red Scirocco 2011 twin charger stage 1 - enjoyable drive now gone.  White 2016 Polo GTI (roller skate on steroids) replaced with an Indium Grey 2019 7.5 GTI PP.
